"I'd be Looking for the Door" original song by Dave Neves

Описание: “I’d be Looking for the Door” is an original song I wrote and recorded on January 16, 2026. More often than not, when I write a song, it starts off as a picture that inspires the song. This song was born from the picture above. A week ago, I had the opportunity to stroll casually down the street of an older part of my hometown. The sun was finally out, and I could sense the hint of better weather ahead. While walking, I noticed this orange tabby sitting in the window of a very old house, no doubt soaking up his own comfortable warmth. I stopped to watch him, and to my thrill we just watched one another without a move for several minutes. I took his picture and all but forgot about it until this morning, and thus the song was born. I rarely start off with lyrics in mind; I just let them find their way to the surface as is the case with this one. Perhaps this is the song the cat wanted me to write...

I’d be Looking for the Door

So, there’s this cat in the window, soaking up some sun.
Staring back at me, like it’s his only source of fun.
Not giving a cat’s damn, no sign of a concern,
he’s just looking out his window, as his cat world turns.
If I had this window, and could sit around all day,
just staring out at strangers, as they pass along my way.
I’d wonder about the world, the world I used to know,
and wonder how that world shrunk, when it was supposed to grow.
And I’d wonder why the people, chose hate instead of love,
they walk around looking at the ground, and not the light above.
Their windows are still open, but on tiny little screens,
they see nothing else around them, or at least that’s how it seems.
To the kitty in the window, I wish I were like you,
basking in the daylight with such a glorious view.
But then again, you’re a captive, in a room without a door,
perhaps the cat is wishing, he had more.
As for me, I’d be looking for the door,
as for me, I’d be looking for the door.
